Hmm. I'm not aware of any free lectures (that doesn't mean there aren't any). There is this book, which is quite good (and you can read it online free): http://planning.cs.uiuc.edu/
Here's another textbook which I've read that covers many motion planning approaches: Principles of Robot Motion
Personally my favorite robotics book is Probabilistic Robotics, which doesn't really cover motion planning, but includes a lot about sensing and localization that you'll need to build a practical autonomous robot.
Here are three that you MUST know:

In fact, when I searched for the first book it brought up a recommendation for all three.
